On Friday, September 26th, 2003, the Director of the TVA stood on the bridge at the Ocoee Olypmic
Whitewater Center and signed an agreement with other stakeholders that promised 54 days of
recreational releases each year for the next 15 years. Friday marked a landmark success for
American Whitewater, the paddling community and for Southeastern Tennessee. Thanks to everyone that
helped us "Free the Ocoee!"
